Finland's National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has arrested three foreign men suspected of involvement in the activities of the Islamic terrorist organization ISIS. Two of the suspects were born in the 1980s and one in the 1990s.
The police are not commenting on the possible crimes committed by the men, but under Finnish law, merely participating in the activities of a terrorist group can lead to a conviction. At this stage, however, nothing suggests that there has been a terrorism threat directed at Finland.
If the men are found guilty of involvement in a terrorist group, they will be sentenced to a minimum of four months and a maximum of eight years in prison.
So far, Finland has only had one Islamist terrorist attack. It occurred in Turku in 2017 when Abderrahman Bouanane, a Moroccan who came to Finland as an asylum seeker, randomly stabbed people, killing two of them.
For this act, Bouanane was sentenced to life imprisonment, from which the president can pardon him if desired—usually no earlier than after 12 years of imprisonment. It remains to be seen whether Finland’s first Muslim terrorist will ever be released.
In this regard, it is interesting that - relative to the size of Finland’s Muslim population - the country sent the highest number of terrorists to ISIS's caliphate in Syria and Iraq during the last decade. However, none of them have yet been convicted for their atrocities there. Additionally, the police have not suggested that the arrest of the current suspects is in any way related to ISIS’s caliphate.

With the war in Ukraine started by Russia, Europe has woken up to the Russian threat.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't we wake up to the threat of Islam to Europe, even though the Koran tells us what the goals of Islam are?
For example, the established and classic interpretation in Islam is that the Koran obliges Muslims to engage in holy war, or jihad. The mere existence of false believers is enough as a reason for it, because the goal of the war is to spread the power of Islam throughout the world.
People need to understand that Islam is not only a religion, it is a totalitarian system of government.
ReplyDeleteAnd it is led by religious dictators like in Afghanistan - or in Iran by Ayatollah Khamenei.
Elections in Iran, for example, are just a smokescreen to pretend that elections are held like in democratic countries.
